Dear applicant,
This compilation of institutions to apply to for funding is not meant to be complete. However, it provides an overview of institutions relevant to the Master of Arts in Intercultural Conflict
Management (MA-ICM). Please note that the information is taken from the original website sources
and changes might have occurred. Some of them are in German language. This does not automatically mean that only citizens from Germany may apply. In this case, I would suggest that you contact those organizations via e-mail.
Keep in mind their deadlines! Some deadlines are as early as September of the preceding year.
Therefore, you should consult their websites well in advance to your application to find out if you meet the criteria.
The following text is an example that may be considered as a standard procedure with many of the
foundations (“Stiftungen”). This might help you getting organized before starting your research.
Procedure for the "Stiftungen": First write a short letter stating who you are and why you are interested in their specific aims (see their
homepage to check their agenda and whether this fits your own) and why you want to study the MA-ICM. Remember to ask for their application forms and their deadlines as early as possible, even without
being accepted to our graduate program. If a German embassy or a representative of the foundation you are interested in is near you, get their advice. Normally they prefer foreign students who are
already in Germany. If you apply from abroad, they will only consider your application after our official
confirmation and/ or offer of enrolment. You will also have to explain to them that you do not need the TestDaf/DSH German exam for studying at the MA-ICM since this is an English language program.
We wish you good luck with your scholarship application!
